I'm up for this also ... enough so I got my laptop fixed :thumbup:

 

My phone was enough to watch the last couple of PL matches, but this will be massive cinematic football, I just know it   :scarf:

Too right. I reckon they will be well up for it with vesty and king Kasper playing. Could be quite feisty. Bring it on.

Also, his comments about the best route into Europe being Top 7 sounds like this is not a focus and the league still trumps all. Which would be a shame. He also talks about Vestergaard, so is he going to start?

 

I definitely think we need to play with wingers to help break them down, have both Barnes and Lookman playing with a lone striker.

...neither Nacho or Daka relish or are an assett, in playing the lone striker role!!!

  We keep on repeating the same set up and,  wonder why a player struggles to have an impact. There is no need to play with one up front in this game. 

  This game should be a great opportunity to use Soumare in the middle and get him to dictate the tempo and the way we play.

 Randers not having played for so long has got to work against them.

Excited for this. 

 

Nice reading Ndidi and Rodgers comments. Especially the honesty from Ndidi and that the players needed it, and responded positively to it. 

I'm not saying it hasn't had a positive reaction but even if it was negative is Ndidi going to come out saying we all hated what he said and we're all on a downer because of it.

This is more important to us than the europa league was at the start of the season. I’d love to see the likes of Brunt and Alves and Mcatee play but I think we will strong despite wolves at the weekend. Views?

Brunt not in squad and McAteer not at the club.

Pre-match Press Conference vs Randers - Brendan Rodgers

 

Europa Conference League?

“After the Napoli game, I genuinely hadn’t given it any thought whatsoever, the mindset was to finish in the higher competition. I didn't realise we were in this competition. I grew up being aware of three European competitions, now that we;re in this competition, we want to win it, and we will give everything we can to do that. We’ll embrace it.”

 

Set-pieces?

“Defending set-pieces is straight forward in that it's about organisation and a will to head the ball. You go through cycles and then you’re changing it. There is anxiety around it. West Ham have scored the most and we had defended them well. The goal arguably shouldn’t countered.,. It ptu a negative feel on a good game. It’s about that ruthlessness to get the first contact and that will to defend it. In the first 18 months it wasn’t a problem. There’s lots of work going on. We’ve worked on it, going zonal and then man to man, but you’ve got to stay concentrated right until the end, and then that ruthlessness will come back."

 

Justin injury?

“It’s hindsight. He’s a young guy who is a real supernatural athlete. His plan and the feeling for him was that he felt strong. We wanted to give Luke a rest, our youngest defender, so we had to find a place for him to have a breather. The plan was for JJ not to play on Thursday. He’s going to be a couple of weeks. It’s not too serious, but there’s a slight strain in there.”

 

Best route into Europe?

“No. We can finish in the top seven, we have an opportunity to still do that. We want to finish as high as we can and if we show the level we did in the second half on Sunday, we can have a positive end to the season. That’s our aim, to be in Europe.”

 

Randers?

“They play 4-4-2, they’re an honest team, the wingers come inside and they try to overload on the inside. We have to be at our best. The first leg at home, we want to continue with the positive elements of our game.”

 

No away goals?

“Each coach goes in to win the game. I don’t overthink it.”

 

Vestergaard?

“Jannik came in here with a specific role. We needed experience after we lost Wesley Fofana. He wasn’t quite fit. It’s been a difficult number of months. He put himself out there to play when he wasn’t fit. He’s got himself into a good condition. We have other players who play in his position. He’s a good guy and a top professional.”

 

Anybody else injured?

“Ricardo Pereira won’t play as part of his plan. We’ll get him ready for the weekend.”

 

Vardy?

“Vardy is working well, he’s 10 days to two weeks. He’s running on the pitch and is looking sharp.”

 

Fofana?

"He trains on Friday."

 

Playing a team after a long break?

“I’ve had experience of that, playing with Celtic against teams coming off a break. We can only concentrate on ourselves. They have been playing games, so I don’t think it will impact them too much.”

 

Ndidi?

“He’s been a really important player in my time here. You see the importance I give to him in the team. It’s a young team at the moment. His experience helps the players. Wherever I ask him to play, he gives us a great physicality. There are still areas he can improve on. He comes in with a joy to train and learn. He gives us all.”

 

Ndidi future?

“He seems very settled, he’s moved into a new house. He seems very happy. He’s a pleasure to work with. We hope he’ll be here for a few years."

 

Ndidi valued at £50m?

“He’s worth much more than that.”

 

Play young players?

“I don’t know how much younger we can go. This is a competition for senior players. Those guys are out on loan, Kasey and Vontae.”

 

Small details gone against Leicester?

“From a football perspective, there’s been quite a few incidents where moments have gone against us. I was much more enthused after the game at the weekend. We showed a lot more elements that have made us successful. The pressing, the speed of our game, scoring good goals, playing with energy. You sensed the positivity in the crowd. If you don’t do that, you have to accept that there will be criticism."

 

Schmeichel?

“Defending is collective, it’s not just the defence and the goalkeeper. There have been lots of goals we can analyse where we can better. Kasper is a very important member of the squad. He’s a fantastic shot-stopper.”

 

Schmeichel future?

“Kasper is getting to that stage of his career. He will want to play as long as he can. I think it’s pretty open. Kasper has this year and another year. It all depends on the player. He may want something fresh, a new challenge. But right now, he’s here, and he will be an important player for us. We communicate well, so it can be something we can speak about.”

Vestergaard?

“Jannik came in here with a specific role. We needed experience after we lost Wesley Fofana. He wasn’t quite fit. It’s been a difficult number of months. He put himself out there to play when he wasn’t fit. He’s got himself into a good condition. We have other players who play in his position. He’s a good guy and a top professional.”

 

A great way to be nice about him but avoid saying he's a good player lol

To be fair he really hasn’t looked fit since he has been with us and a shadow of the player that performed in the euros. I’m not expecting massive improvements but I still think he has more to show us. Won’t stop us shopping in the summer hopefully for something better.
